The employee at the till failed to accommodate to my dietary restrictions. Upon asking him for an allergen menu, the employee proceeded to tell me that I was not allergic to anything in the menu and made me feel belittled with regards to my medical condition. He raised his voice at me when I tried to ask about the specific allergens, and then told me to sit down and he would bring me the food. My friends were outraged and we left immediately.

What an awful experience my wife and I had at this restaurant. Unfortunately the one of the kofta kebabs was off with the meat being very sour. We approached the waiter whom addressed the matter to the manager. He came out and said it's perfectly fine. I said have you tried it and ate some of it in front of us. He said it's perfectly fine, Im a chef and this is good. We still had a kofta that tasted fine and said they don't taste the same. He dismissed everything and walked away taking our uncompleted plate away, though we didn't want it at this point. We spoke to the waiter about the manager and to be honest he was really nice. We said your manager is unprofessional in dealing with this matter. I believe the manager overheard us and then offered us a small refund. We again, spoke to the manager about this matter and told him you should be more considerate with how you speak and deal with these matters. He thens said we are personally attacking him due to an earlier experience on the same evening when we were seated at the table , the light was very very dim and found it difficult to read the menu. He replied to this matter it's a restaurant, it's the experience and offered the torch from his phone to read the menu. It was a shame as the starters was very good and the waiter very polite. If a restaurants is very quiet there is usually a reason for this as most of the restaurants on Cowley Road were busy.. Avoid like the plague!!

I have eaten here before and have enjoyed the food. The quality seems to have diminished significantly. I suspect new ownership.the menu has become much smaller with fewer accompaniments than previously. We were served our food relatively quickly and it was okay - average at best. After we finished eating we waited for at least 30 minutes for our table to be cleared - in fact I had to request for this to be done. We were offered no drinks or pudding options - we were just left sitting at our table. I sought out the bill after asking twice. We paid and left. The restaurant has just one waiter managing the whole restaurant- on a Saturday night, This seems pretty ridiculous for a normally busy restaurant. In future I will eat at the Antep kitchen instead.

Having previously ordered and enjoyed some time ago, we thought we would reorder what we’d had before. Mixed grill with lamb shish and chicken shish, kofta chicken wings, tawook and salad. We ordered one portion of rice and bread between us. After a very long wait, we received a lamb chop, kofta, two cubes of chicken, bread and chips. We phoned to see if we’d received the wrong order only to be told that was the mixed kebab. We explained that that wasn’t the description on the delivery website. He wasn’t interested. We said we’d wanted salad, he said he thought chips would be better! No apology and refused to replace or refund. It was dry and cold. Not at all happy!

Really lovely meal but massively let down by slow service. Friday night out & was not v busy. One waiter serving all tables. He was v polite & friendly, we waited 45 mins for our food. When people finished their meals & paid plates were left on.the tables. Just need another person to serve/in the kitchen? (One couple left as they waited so long without being given drink or have their order taken) I really wanted to love this place but the service was lacking...

Visited for an early dinner with my mother - we asked the waiter for his recommendation about which mezze to order and how many, and he got it spot on. The food was all fantastic - we had the falafel, fried cauliflower, calamari, spicy prawns, lebanese dips & bread, and ful mudammas (fava beans in tahini). The waiter and proprietor were both friendly and accommodating, making sure we had a table we were comfortable at. Would highly recommend, and we will be returning!

We had dinner here recently with another couple before heading to the Oxford O2 to see a band. It was a last minute affair and this place was our second choice as everywhere else near the venue were fully booked. We ate relatively early as the gig started at 20:00.... The service was slow, the staff didn't really seem to be 'on it' but the food was nice enough. We all ordered various hot and cold mezze dishes which were all nice. The front of the place lets the overall appearance of the restaurant down a bit as half of the sign above the door is missing. I don't think we'll be going back any time soon. There are better options on this road.....

A group of 12 of us had booked to go here as a work Christmas meal. When we arrived there had been a table set up for us at the back of the restaurant near to the kitchen and toilet. As you walked through the restaurant the smell of bad drains/sewage got worse and worse. We sat and waited for other members of the group to arrive but all agreed that the smell was disgusting and that we could not stay to eat there. A member of the group approached the waiter and told him we would be leaving due to the smell and the waiter did not acknowledge that there was any bad smell. My colleague said ‘can you not smell it? It’s really strong!’ And the waiter said he couldn’t and that it was our choice to leave. Very poor standard and no apology. We had to go and find another restaurant to manage to fit us in with no notice. Very disappointing! I would not return.

Having recently eaten at what was supposed to be a good middle eastern restaurant in London it was fantastic to actually eat somewhere that was BETTER than expected.Fresh, authentic made dishes, we stuck to hot and cold mezze, tasty, full of flavour.The Ful Mudammas was fantastic, the beans were creamy and tasty, the first time we have had this dish.Be bold, try the Lebanese wine, splurge and try the more expensive bottle.Save room for the baklava sweet treats and Lebanese coffee, or fresh mint tea. Very enjoyable, good value- will visit again.

Así que he estado antes en la granada y como siempre la comida era buena. Sin embargo, el servicio fue absolutamente terrible! Soy un crítico honesto y realmente quiero dar más estrellas como la comida era buena. Esperamos más de una hora para la comida, que era solo los platos principales, y nos dieron la comida que no pedimos para llevar, así como la comida que pedimos que nos llevaran, que sale en un plato mucho tiempo después de haberlo pedido. Tuvimos que pedir que se pusiera en una bolsa para llevar. Ni una sola vez nos preguntaron si queríamos más bebidas en toda la hora que esperábamos para comer. También nos cobraron dos veces por halloumi, que se olvidó con la comida para llevar y luego nos cobraron dos veces por ello. También parecían estar fuera de la mayoría de los platos de carne en el menú. . . ¡habrías pensado que el personal estaría más preparado para una noche de viernes! Recibo que el personal está ocupado pero la mitad del personal no parecía saber lo que estaban haciendo y no fueron muy atentos, fue un desastre. Mi consejo es tal vez capacitar al personal un poco más en servicio al cliente y hospitalidad, lo que puede complacer a los clientes un poco más.

Quando una cena di famiglia si trasforma in un viaggio di sola andata tra profumi e sapori d'Oriente. La cucina è sorprendentemente leggerissima e profumatissima. Tutto assolutamente meraviglioso. Consiglio vivamente di ordinare 6/7 piatti di mezés alla carta per assaggiare un po' di tutto secondo la vera tradizione gastronomica libanese. Servizio veloce e cordiale. Prezzo più che onesto. Merita una visita e senza dubbio un ritorno.

I had two appetisers. There were too many choices on the menu and I ordered not having any idea what was coming. After seeing the photos on this site of what others had ordered, I would choose differently next time. My 2 appetisers were a chili and walnut type paste that I spread on the naan bread, and a plate of nut stuffed sausages. Both dishes were tasty but for me not the best choice. The waiter was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend this place, it had a nice ambience and there are many delicious dishes to choose from.

2 tables occupied on entry last night, we were 2 women. Our drinks took 10 minutes to come, boxed pomegranate juice, not fresh, there was nothing else to do during that time than the moustached waiter and aussie waitresss, but lack lustre they came. The food was a shambles.. Monday night felt like the weekend's leftovers straight from the fridge. The bread was too dry from the packet and the lentil soup tangy in a way that seemed like it was just a bit too long in a warm kitchen....

Yo solía ir a Granada mucho, una vez cada una o dos semanas. Las bandejas de mezze y falafel wraps era excelente relación calidad-precio, y los hígados de pollo divinos. Visitar hoy, sin embargo, me entristece descubrir que se ha producido un deterioro en la calidad de la comida. El servicio, aunque muy educado, estaba un poco descuidada, con cubiertos de paquete sobre la mesa, y largas esperas para pedidos del desierto y la factura (a pesar de ser los únicos clientes en el restaurante). El tabbouleh makdous y eran incomibles demasiado sal y vinagre. Los hígados de pollo estaban mal cocinada, y unseasoned - solían ser deliciosos, y la parte de ensaladas para el plato principal era muy triste. El baklava no estaba bien. Realmente decepcionado, como solía ser, y que nos darán gratis baklava porque fuimos tan a menudo! No vamos a volver.

Pomegranate used to be a solid option for a good value meal, and we would frequently visit. The mezze platter, particularly the vegetarian one, was good quality and reasonably well priced. A couple of years ago, the vegetarian mezze platter was around £10 per person. It's now almost £15 per person. As the waiter pointed out to me, there may well be a few extra things on the platter, but I believe the quantity of other items have been sacrificed to accommodate these (only one falafel now, apposed to two, for example), so all-in-all it's about the same. A 50% price increase over two-three years is simply unjustifiable, and does not reflect increases in wages, rent etc. I'm well aware of costs involved in running a restaurant, and am usually not one to complain of perceived high restaurant prices, but £15 for a cold vegetarian meal for one, which requires little preparation time and washing up, is just not competitive with other options nearby. Apparently there was a change of ownership at the start of the year, a move which seems to have been for the worse. Oh, and they now automatically add a 10% service charge, even for two dinners! I'll miss going to Pomegranate.

Le personnel est ok sans plus. Les plats manquent de goût. Beaucoup trop peu d épices. Tout est frais mais décevant par le manque d épices et de condiments

This Lebanese food was nice, and also very tasty. The service in general was good and fast. The quantity was also perfect. It isn't cheap.

This is our second visit to Pomegranate having had an excellent meal previously and we weren't disappointed this time. The service is excellent and the food is excellent. This is a great place to eat if going to the O2 Academy or The Bullingdon.

Visiting Oxford for weekend and we passed this restaurant heading into city centre. It looked good & very popular on Friday evening so we tried it for a late lunch on the Saturday. Excellent decision! We had mezze plus meatballs, haloumi and a stuffed bread. All fantastic. Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff. We will definitely visit again.

I visited the Pomergranate kitchen just under a week ago and the service and the food was fantastic.I booked days in adance for a group of 10 to eat. The manager Abdul was great at explaining how the process worked. From the time we walked in to the time we left, our every need was catered to. The service was FANTASTIC, the food was very good and the portion size was more than geneorous.Despite booking a table for 10....13 showed up and this was catered to with great ease. The music and the general atomosphere was wonderful, very authentic!!If you looking for a great resturant with good food, and wonderful service. LOOK NO FURTHER....I recommned the Pomegranate kitchen with the highest possible regard :-)

Lovely food. Rather quiet but that was probably more about the time we ate.

Didn't book, just dropped in. We ordered loads of starters, like a taps, and ate well. Service was good. Good atmosphere.

Visited last night with friends . Very busy Friday . There were a few issues with the service like having to remind the waiting team about rice we ordered that finally arrived as we were finishing the mains . The sharing mezzes were great though .

We went on a Saturday night and the place was was packed to the rafters. They squeezed us in after half an hour and I am so pleased they did. The biggest issue was trying to choose what to eat as each dish that came out looked and smelt amazing. Perhaps a little more guidance so people don't over order would be a good idea. We didn't realise the portions would be soooo big. Excellent food at good prices. The wine wasn't so good though.

We had a great evening at Pomegranate. The atmosphere was great and the service was attentive from the staff. We shared the mezze platter to start, which was decent and had some nice things to try (in particular the sausages). For mains both the chicken sharwarma and kebab were enjoyed but unfortunately the kibbeh is not recommended- dry and flavourless. The wine list is interesting with some good Lebanese wine to try. Overall would recommend for an evening out with family or friends.

We really appreciated the Libanese food they served there. Falafels were very tasty along with the lentil soup. We also got some lamb mince - can't remember the name of the dish - and a mouthwatering moussaka. Great value.

Pomegranate really is one of the best Oxford venues for large (informal) group lunches. The service is fast and efficient; the menu is wide ranging, healthy and interesting; the food comes fast and is always reliable; and it's excellent value.Between five of us we ordered the majority of the small sharing dishes and none were disappointing, the flatbreads stuffed with a thin layer of lopsided lamb were particularly good. With drinks the total came to £13 each, which we thought was excellent value. Definitely recommended.

If you take a walk in Bury Knowle Park, you can't miss the savory smell of grilling meat. Reina grill is the source of this smell. I've not tried any burgers or fried chickens, but I tried all the kebabs. My favorite is the chicken doner kebab, the best chicken doner in Oxford.
